What the caption says

What the video says
The local transcript records Allison saying the inquiry was launched to provide Canadians an opportunity to share their experiences and be heard. He says Canadians who suffered serious adverse events after vaccination feel their stories have not been adequately heard, and that the inquiry is about listening, learning, transparency and accountability rather than assigning blame.
He also says hundreds of Canadians have reached out, emails have been sent to every MP, and MPs from all parties are invited to attend for an afternoon, a day or the full week.
